The company has invested $14m in new Process, Pipeline and Umbilical (PPU) equipment and in opening a base at Villahermosa, Mexico.

EnerMech has also moved to a new 50,000 sq ft workshop, office and storage facility near to Houston’s Energy Corridor.

The company has already secured a number of PPU contracts in 2014 worth up to $9.3m, while expects that its turnover will treble from $6.2m-$23.3m, and treble further to $78m in 2015.

EnerMech US operation president Vince Kouns said the company is well established and has an excellent reputation in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions.

"The US market is the final piece of the jigsaw and using Houston as our gateway we are doing exactly the same as in those other regions, by making significant investment in infrastructure and experienced personnel, who know the oil and gas industry inside out," Kouns added.

"The other advantage is the strength of EnerMech’s reputation in the North Sea and Asia Pacific and as a company with a global footprint we have a depth of resource and mobility capabilities which others find difficult to match."

Kouns aslo noted that the company has a strategic advantage, since it operate the youngest fleet of equipment in the market.

"The GoM has not fully recovered from Macondo but we are much busier this year and the bid activity is at such a level that 2014 is stacking up to be almost the perfect storm in terms of project work."
